Let $X$ be a compact connected orientable hyperbolic surface and let $X_n$ be a degree $n$ random cover. We show that, with high probability, the distribution of eigenvalues of the Laplacian on $X_n$ converges to the spectral measure of the…

We show that the EH class and the LOSS invariant of Legendrian knots in contact 3-manifolds are functorial under regular Lagrangian concordances in Weinstein cobordisms. This gives computable obstructions to the existence of regular…

Let $X$ be a closed semialgebraic set of dimension $k.$ If $n\ge 2k+1$, then there is a bi-Lipschitz and semialgebraic embedding of $X$ into $\Bbb R^n.$ Moreover, if $n \ge 2k+2$, then this embedding is unique (up to a bi-Lipschitz and…

The main theme of this paper is the introduction of a new type of polarizations, suited for some open symplectic manifolds, and their applications. These applications include symplectic embedding results that answer a question by…

We establish connections between contact isometry groups of certain contact manifolds and compactly supported symplectomorphism groups of their symplectizations. We apply these results to investigate the space of symplectic embeddings of…

In this paper we introduce a notion of front S^m-spinning for Legendrian submanifolds of R^{2n+1}. It generalizes the notion of front S^1-spinning which was invented by Ekholm, Etnyre and Sullivan. We use it to prove that there are…

In this paper we construct a properly embedded holomorphic disc in the unit ball $\mathbb{B}^2$ of $\mathbb{C}^2$ having a surprising combination of properties: on the one hand, it has finite area and hence is the zero set of a bounded…

We apply the method of filling with holomorphic discs to a 4-dimensional symplectic cobordism with the standard contact 3-sphere as a convex boundary component. We establish the following dichotomy: either the cobordism is diffeomorphic to…

In this paper, we prove that if two Legendrian knots have isomorphic fundamental GL-racks, then either they have the same Thurston-Bennequin number and the same rotation number, or they have the opposite Thurston-Bennequin numbers and…

Let $ \B^{n+1} \subset \C^{n+1}$ be the unit ball in a complex Euclidean space, and let $ \Sigma^n = \partial \B^{n+1} = S^{2n+1}$. Let $ f: \Sigma^n \hook \Sigma^{N}$ be a local CR immersion.If $ N-n<2n-1$, the asymptotic vectors of the…

We introduce a type of minimal surface in the pseudo-hyperbolic space $\mathbb{H}^{n,n}$ (with $n$ even) or $\mathbb{H}^{n+1,n-1}$ (with $n$ odd) associated to cyclic $\mathrm{SO}_0(n,n+1)$-Higg bundles. By establishing the infinitesimal…

Thurston's Ending Lamination Conjecture states that a hyperbolic 3-manifold N with finitely generated fundamental group is uniquely determined by its topological type and its end invariants. In this paper we prove this conjecture for…

We show that each cluster seed in the augmentation variety is inhabited by an embedded exact Lagrangian filling. This resolves the matter of surjectivity of the map from Lagrangian fillings to cluster seeds. The main new technique to…

We prove two main results: (a) Suppose $L$ is a closed, embedded, exact special Lagrangian $m$-fold in ${\mathbb C}^m$ for $m\ge 3$ asymptotic at infinity to the union $\Pi_1\cup\Pi_2$ of two transverse special Lagrangian planes…

We construct a combinatorial invariant of Legendrian knots in standard contact three-space. This invariant, which encodes rational relative Symplectic Field Theory and extends contact homology, counts holomorphic disks with an arbitrary…

Let $L$ be a special Lagrangian submanifold of a compact, Calabi-Yau manifold $M$ with boundary lying on the symplectic, codimension 2 submanifold $W$. It is shown how deformations of $L$ which keep the boundary of $L$ confined to $W$ can…

In this article, we prove a Legendrian Whitney trick which allows for the removal of intersections between codimension-two contact submanifolds and Legendrian submanifolds, assuming such a smooth cancellation is possible. This technique is…

We prove the existence of complete, embedded, constant mean curvature 1 surfaces in 3 dimensional hyperbolic space when g, the genus of the surface, and n, the number of ends of the surface, satisfy either g=0 and $n\geq 1$ or $g \geq 1$…

The Whitney immersion is a Lagrangian sphere inside the four-dimensional symplectic vector space which has a single transverse double point of Whitney self-intersection number $+1.$ This Lagrangian also arises as the Weinstein skeleton of…

We provide the final step in the resolution of Bourgain's slicing problem in the affirmative. Thus we establish the following theorem: for any convex body $K \subseteq \mathbb{R}^n$ of volume one, there exists a hyperplane $H \subseteq…
